List three outside forces or institutions that play a major role, good or bad, in desegregation. (Interpretive)
Verdich [7]
Desegregation the process of ending the separation of two different groups of people. The term "desegregation" is normally used with reference to race. The government of the country, religious organisations and organisations such as The United Nations, play a major role in desegregation whether good or bad. Normally the laws of a country determine whether communities can live separate from each other or whether they are able to be integrated with each other.  Different groups of people tend to live close to the religious places of worship. The United Nations can force a country to allow the desegregation of different races. South Africa is a very good example. Apartheid segregated the different races in South Africa. The United Nations isolated and placed extreme sanctions on South Africa. The end result is that South Africa is now a democratic country with equal rights for all.

An individual who commits crimes during adolescence but stops by the age of 21 is considered a(n)?
Vikentia [17]

An individual who commits crimes during adolescence but stops by the age of 21 is considered an adolescence-limited offender.

The two types of offenders are those whose antisocial behavior is limited to adolescence and those whose antisocial behavior is continuous over the course of their lives, starting in early infancy and continuing into maturity. Because different cultures have different definitions of what constitutes "crime," this theory is applied to antisocial behavior rather than actual crime. The foundation of Moffitt's theory is the persistence and constancy of antisocial behavior. While life-course-persistent offenders often exhibit antisocial behavior from very early ages, the Adolescent Limited offenders exhibit antisocial behavior without consistency over their lifetime. A persistent offender has a history of biting and punching beginning at age 4, then committing crimes like shoplifting, drug sales, theft, robbery, and child abuse.

An individual who commits crimes during adolescence but stops by the age of 21 is considered a(n):

A. career criminal.

B. adolescence-limited offender.

C. repeat offender.

D. life-course-persistent offender.
